december 31st - another year in the books

This year is officially over and the kids got to celebrate with their cousins at Uncle Gary and Aunt Charissa's house. We spent the night eating, drinking, and watching the kids run around in circles.





























We had another very fortunate year and looking forward to 2016. In 2015:

• Gemma learned to walk and talk. She also learned how to be a diva with an attitude problem:)  She took her first international trip to Mexico and her inaugural OBX experience with the Burger squad.

• Alex started his first year of pre-school and really started bonding with his little sister.  He went to the circus for the first time, ice skated for the first time, went bowling for the first time, touched the bottom of the pool, and peed standing up.

We ate lots of ice cream, Alex had a birthday on a TRAIN, visited Rhode Island, spent lots of time in Princeton, Daddy changed jobs, Mommy turned down a job, Emily joined our daily fun, and we bought a house....hopefully we will get to live in it in 2016!!
